What is recorded here

West Wemyss, Castle Garden, Sea Wall and Towers stands in Fife, Scotland, preserving a possible post Medieval dovecot, a 16th Century tower and a 16th Century wall. The sea wall still faces the water, while the towers rise above the garden like sentinels from a forgotten age. People may have kept doves, watched ships or simply marked the edge of their world, but the stones remain clear enough to invite that imagination.
